502 Palm Street, Suite 3 West Palm Beach, FL

On Sunday, December 29, 2013, a public opening will be held to showcase the newest art pieces by Chisolm. You won’t want to miss this colorful exhibit with Chisolm, a community-based contemporary artist! Chisolm Art Studio/Gallery is located at 502 Palm Street, Suite 3 in West Palm Beach, FL. The Opening Reception takes place from 1 -4 pm. The public is invited.

Chisolm describes his most current paintings “as ‘gestures’… the very first lines made on the canvas by my movement. When viewers need to see something in a painting, they often revert to letters and numbers. I use my handwriting in the title and to describe the work to some.”

These paintings evoke a number of styles, incorporating Chisolm’s previous techniques in “Layers of Time” and “small works”.

While attending the University of Southern Mississippi he participated in a number of art shows and represented the university in many local and regional competitions. “Man Standing”, a figurative piece, won best in show and earned him a full scholarship to the University for the balance of his education.

After a world wide successful career in the cosmetics industry, Chisolm returned to his artist roots. While living in Washington, DC he participated in many art exhibitions and solo shows. In September, 2009 he began painting full time. JF Gallery in West Palm Beach showcased his work in a solo exhibition in January 2011. Chisolm has been chosen as one of the artists of Palm Beach County’s Art in Public Spaces.

Chisolm shares, “My mission is to show energy, movement and power in every piece of my art. Working with my passion and the movement of my body I create bold paintings that are often layered with contrast”.

Chisolm is currently showing at DTR Modern Galleries, Palm Beach, FL. and Philip Morton Gallery in Rehoboth Beach, DE, as well as his own gallery, Chisolm Art Studio/Gallery in West Palm Beach, FL.

At a recent sneak peek, The Rickie Report overheard one art-lover say, “The brightness and layering in Chisolm’s contemporary art brings me into the actual painting. This is work where you can be contemplative and energized at the same time.”

ChisolmArt Studio/Gallery is located at 502 Palm St. Suite 3 West Palm Beach, FL 33401. For more information call 561.267.7720 or visit www.chisolm-art.net

Volunteers are needed at most of the locations. We need the entire community to get involved in even the smallest of tasks. “It is a significant step in telling the world that “art lives here”. It is Palm Beach County’s milestone moment. Palm Beach County has a great legacy in supporting the arts and is home to many of Florida’s leading art and cultural institutions. Art Synergy will create a new bridge for winter residents, Art Palm Beach visitors to explore this cultural legacy and create an annual destination to enjoy Palm Beach County Art Week events.”, Lee Ann Lester states.

After a world-wide successful career in the fashion industry, Chisolm returned to his artist roots. While living in Washington, DC he participated in many art exhibitions and solo shows.

Chisolm has been chosen as one of the artists of Palm Beach County’s Art in Public Spaces.

Chisolm shares, “My true mission is to show movement, passion and energy in each of my art pieces. I work with the movement of my body and describe it as my ‘handwriting’. The emotion I feel each time I take brush to hand is what my work is all about. It is bold, filled with energy and power, and is often layered with contrast”.

Chisolm is currently showing at Studio 1608 in West Palm Beach and Philip Morton Gallery in Rehoboth Beach, DE.

“Chisolm’s artwork shows true energy and movement. My favorite Chisolm signature pieces are what he refers to as the Plastics; they are so vibrant and colorful.” said Julie Seaver, Compass’ Director of Development.
